Exploring Rural Vietnam 🇻🇳 Mai Chau Travel Vlog: Mountains, Rice Terraces, and Relaxation

In this Vietnam Travel Vlog, I head to Mai Chau Valley – just 3 hours outside of Hanoi, Vietnam! I first heard of Mai Chau two days before heading there from a fellow traveler in my hostel in Hanoi and it sounded amazing! I booked a mini bus from Hanoi to Mai Chau on https://nataliespassport.12go.com/?z=7634986 and ended up at the Mai Chau Home homestay in Lac Village. The owner of the homestay was amazing! He greeted me with some local tea before giving me a bunch of tips on what to do in Mai Chau, Vietnam. I was hungry, so I walked 14 minutes from my homestay to the Cafe Canh Dong. It was such a cute cafe with cheap beer, great food, and a seating area in the middle of the rice field! I got some dinner and stayed there until after sunset before walking home through the local Lac Village.
The following morning I had a delicious breakfast at my homestay and set out on a longer hike up to a rice terrace viewpoint near Na Cat Mai Chau. It was a fun hike through rice terraces, across some water, and along a few ‘balance beams’. The views were incredible!!! Some of the best views I saw on my trip in Northern Vietnam! After finishing my long hike I returned to my homestay to shower before returning to the same cafe for dinner. The following morning the owner of my homestay booked me a bus to Ninh Binh which picked me up right at the front door. It was an amazing little get away from Hanoi and the perfect place to relax and recharge!
